Ash are making a come back this year after spending time in America where they recorded their new single Envy. The new single is taken from a forthcoming rarities and singles collection called Intergalactic Sonic 7's.

Envy is much more of an American sounding punk single, when I first heard Tim Wheelers voice I thought it Frank Black formerly of The Pixies. On the whole; this track is a typical Ash rock-pop song with a light sprinkle of new wave/punk.

Last year the band spent their time touring tiny venues all voted for by fans via their web site
www.ash-official.com. This year the band come back to the UK playing Leeds & Reading Festival.
